At the center a monumental blue medallion with internal floral detail and projecting red finials floats amidst an ivory ground, surrounded by a sparing corolla of angular vines and palmettes. Grand red cornerpieces fill out the field, utilizing once again a restrained or spare array of stylized vinescroll elements.
